Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 156

In the shadow of the big tree, layers of cool wind blew through, and petals fell from the wall from time to time.

This entire street is the most bookish place in Qili Town, where there are schools, cultural shops, bookstores...

The daughter-in-law of the second room has been staying in the shop lately, and she is quite suffocated. Although walking on this small street full of books smells a bit unnatural, it is better than curling up in the shop all afternoon.

And Ye Qiongdan wasn't too busy. After the people she hired went to the countryside to talk about the acquisition for a few days, they were already able to handle this simple matter with ease, so she didn't need to worry too much.

"Brother Qingyu said that with my current level, it is more than enough for the entrance examination of Yiling County Women's School. He said that if I want to, I might as well try to learn something deeper." Xiang girl clenched her hands book list, said anxiously.

"My second brother always tells the truth. If he says you can do it, you can do it!" Ye Qiongdan encouraged, "Look, we've arrived at Yuzhu Bookstore! Let's go in and buy books!"

Xiang Yatou nodded, took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and walked into the bookstore.

This was her first time entering the bookstore, so she couldn't help but wait and see curiously.

As early as when she entered the door, Li Niangzi, the daughter of the richest man in Lijia Village, noticed her.

If we talk about the grievances between Mrs. Li and her, it can be regarded as an old account that cannot be erased.

At the beginning, the Ye family split up, and with You Yue'e's efforts, the second room got a lot of good things. Not to mention, the ten mu of land was enough to attract people's mouth.

Therefore, in several surrounding villages, families with unmarried young people all set their sights on the second wife of the Ye family.

Li Xiucai's family in Lijiacun was the quickest, immediately invited a matchmaker to propose marriage, and went with the matchmaker to meet Xiang girl.

The second daughter-in-law thought that Li Xiude was a scholar after all, and his family was poor. After Xiang girl married with a coveted dowry, her life with her mother-in-law would definitely not be too sad. Once Li Xiude was elected in the future, Then my girl can enjoy the glory and wealth along with her.

It's a pity that her wishful thinking was overwhelmed, but the Li family turned around and regretted it.

why?

Because the richest man in Li Family Village planned to marry his only daughter to Li Xiude.

This lady of the Li family knows a few words, can do some small business, and looks good. What's more, after a hundred years from Father Li, Lady Li can inherit all of her father's family wealth.

Compared with Li's richest man's family wealth, can Xiang girl's dowry still stand out?
In order to get rid of his relationship with Miss Xiang and show his sincerity to Mrs. Li, Li Xiude rushed to the door even though the Li family and the Ye family had only verbally agreed on the marriage, and there was no marriage certificate to prove it. Withdrew the marriage in front of them, making the Xiang girl feel ashamed, and embarrassing the Ye family!
Afterwards, Ye Qiongdan stood up and argued hard, exposing his sanctimonious true colors!Moreover, he was required to compensate Xiang Yatou for a loss of reputation, otherwise he would be sued in court and held accountable.

Because those who want to take the merit test cannot have a criminal record, Li Xiude, who is self-inflicted, has no choice but to confess.

Li Xiude hated Miss Xiang because of this matter. He felt that his choice was not wrong, so he let go of his bold words in front of the villagers, saying that if one day Ye Qiongxiang was richer and better at making money than Lady Li, he would kneel down on her with the incense burner on his head. In front of her, confess to her.

The next day, Mrs. Li came to the Ye family's old house. She pretended to be generous and hypocritical, and acted like a well-educated young lady in front of the villagers, making Xiang Yatou pale in comparison in front of her. Even the villagers began to feel that Li Xiude married Mrs. Li is the right choice.

Ye Qiongdan took advantage of the trend, and after uncovering Li Niangzi's hypocritical beauty, he even cheated Li Niangzi a large sum of money for Xiang Yatou, making her leave angrily.

Mrs. Li didn't hate Ye Qiongdan that much, she put all this on Xiang girl's account!
She swore that the next time she saw her, she would give this damn girl a good look!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li walked over with small steps, showing a dignified and generous smirk: "Miss Ye Qiongxiang, it's been a long time. Are you here to buy books? Do you want to show it to your future husband? He is a man who recognizes How many words are there for Tongsheng?"

Xiang girl was a little embarrassed by her question, subconsciously clenched the book list in her hand, and said unnaturally: "No, I'll buy the book and read it myself."

"Look for yourself? Oh, then you must have spent some of the money I subsidized you for studying, and my hard work is not in vain," Mrs. Li said with a smile, "I am so relieved to see you like this." what."

"You need your money to study? You really think highly of yourself! Your little money is not even enough to pay for the board and lodging fees of Jingde Academy!" The second wife snorted coldly, "I'm ashamed to show it off with you. This country bumpkin really has nothing to talk about, lose my identity!"

Mrs. Li was robbed of whiteness by the second daughter-in-law, making her face turn green and pale.

When did this kind of uneducated stupid woman dare to put her nose up in front of her?Return identity?Does she have an identity?
She wanted to swear, but she knew very well that when it came to swearing, she was really no match for the "battle-tested" second-wife daughter-in-law, and it would also make her lose her status.

She took a deep breath, and seeing many people in the bookstore looking towards her, she put on a pitiful and weak appearance.

"But Miss Xiang'er can't afford to study without my money," Madam Li said innocently, "Ma'am, I didn't mean to look down on you, don't get me wrong, and I didn't mean to ask you to remember your kindness. It's like buying a fish and releasing it. Who would want the fish to remember their kindness? All I want is a big love."

"Great love? How can you say such shameless words? If you really have great love, why don't you give away all your wealth to the Charity Hall to save those orphans?" The second wife said contemptuously, "You still buy fish and release them? You Think my daughter is a fish in the river? If my daughter is a fish on the surface of the river, you are the snails at the bottom of the river! Pooh!"

The daughter-in-law of the second room spat on Mrs. Li's shoe.

The people around saw it, and immediately pointed to the second wife.

"When will Yuzhu Bookstore let this kind of Baiding come in? It's really insulting!"

"That's right, just by standing here, I feel that the ground under my feet is dirty!"

"It's very rude and rude!"

……

The second daughter-in-law was about to get angry, when she heard the shopkeeper of Yuzhu Bookstore say: "Madam, if you make a scene here again, I will ask you to go out."

The daughter-in-law of the second room was so angry that she was about to drag Xiang girl away when she heard Li Xiude's voice behind her: "Miss, are you okay? Miss Ye, you and I have no grievances, why are you being aggressive and insulting here?" My wife? She is kind-hearted, and she hopes that you will get out of the shadows as soon as possible, and she even wants to introduce you to a marriage. Unexpectedly, your mind is so narrow and ugly! I really feel unworthy of my wife’s kindness. !"

After hearing this, the people around nodded their heads again and again.

Xiang girl's eyes were red with anger, she was trembling, she was helpless to be honest, she was always kind to others, but at this moment she seemed a little clumsy and tongue-tied.

She tried her best to organize some words to refute him, but she couldn't.

Ye Qiongdan was about to speak for her, but unexpectedly, Lady Li spoke first.

"Husband, it's okay. It must be that Miss Xiang'er has some low self-esteem in her heart. I can understand." Mrs. Li smiled slightly and said softly, "She has just practiced calligraphy and seen the big world in the book. Ashamed of ourselves, we shouldn’t care about her, don’t you always teach me the way of a gentleman? If you are a gentleman, you should be magnanimous. Husband, Miss Xiang’er is going to the bookstore to buy books, why don’t you help her refer?”

"For the sake of my wife's pleading for you, I won't argue with you," Li Xiude said with a cold face and a condescending attitude, "Miss Ye Qiongxiang, what book do you want to buy? Let me take a look for you." Well, lest you read a book that is too esoteric and feel retreated, which is not conducive to your future study."

"No need," Ye Qiongdan said first, "We appreciate your kindness. As you said, you and my Xiang girl have no grievances, so I won't bother you to give advice! Also, in the future, please don't take the old The matter of that little money is like a great merit, and it is showing off here! At the beginning, Mrs. Li insisted on showing her kindness and insisting on subsidizing some money for Xiangyao. We didn’t ask you for that, did we? Silver, you When who doesn't!"

Ye Qiongdan untied the purse, and took out a banknote, two banknotes, and three banknotes...

Zhang Zhang's banknotes made a "slap" sound on the table, as if they were slapping Li Xiude's face.

Counting them down, the banknotes amounted to as much as 400 taels, which made the Yuzhu Bookstore gasp.

To be able to spend 400 taels of silver with you in a small place like Qili Town, you must be a first-class rich family in the town!
The daughter-in-law of the second room burst out laughing, and also took out a few banknotes with a small denomination from her wallet, collected 100 taels and clapped them in front of Li Xiude.

"Yeah, silver, who do you think you don't have!" The second daughter-in-law said triumphantly.

"Come on, Second Aunt, tell him how rich your eldest daughter is now." Ye Qiongdan said leisurely.

"Our Ye family's second room, Jiuwei Restaurant alone can get more than 100 taels of silver in dividends a month, and Jiuwei Restaurant has now cooperated with Wu's Chamber of Commerce in the entire Yiling County, and will spread the branch all over Yiling In the various wharves in the county, Ye Qiongdan will take another tenth of the dividends drawn from Wu's Chamber of Commerce in the future to the second room! Do you think my eldest daughter will have money in the future?"

When Li Xiude heard this, his face turned red and white, and he couldn't get off the stage at all.

"Heh, if we are so rich, will we care about your little money? It's not a joke to say it!" The second daughter-in-law raised her chin slightly.

"But what's the difference between leaning on Sanfang's body to suck blood and moths?" Mrs. Li said unhurriedly, she sighed, and clapped Xiang girl's hand, "You can be considered literate now , You should know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and you cannot accept this kind of food."

So, after the shock, the people around immediately became disdainful when they saw the expressions on the faces of the Erfang mother and daughter.
